I just got back from another crop weekend hosted by my upline Jen and a couple of her friends. My best friend Julia and I have spent the last two days making cards, laughing, meeting new people, talking to old friends, somehow getting covered in glitter (and none of my cards have glitter) and making more cards. It was a lot of fun. They provide a good bag and there were a number of sheets of the Painted Blooms DSP in there which is very pretty. I used about a sixth of a sheet to make this card. I’ve seen a number of people make a set of 6 cards using this paper and it seems like a pretty good idea. I decided to use different coloured bases for mine rather than having them all match.

The sentiment is from Painted Petals and a favourite thank you of mine. I love the typeface and the neatness of the sentiment in a block. I stamped it in mossy meadow (although the DSP doesn’t have mossy meadow in it) on whisper white and cut it out using the circles framelits. I then cut up the next size from mossy meadow and glued them together. I popped the circle up using stampin’ dimensionals on the DSP which was adhered to a mossy meadow base. I think it’s rather effective and I’m thrilled to have used some of my DSP so promptly! I should add that Julia managed to use her whole sheet of this one. I’m not quite there yet.

See you tomorrow,

Liz
